ABS and "!" lights are ON again! - Toyota Yaris Forums

2007 Toyota Yaris Sedan with 96,000km.

ABS and E-brake lights came on while visiting the interior of BC where the temperature ranged far into the negatives. Found this thread and performed the DIY fix of contact cleaner + a light coating of dialectic grease. No lights since, and I've been back into some temperatures hovering around freezing in my area and a few highway trips. Thank you contributors for pioneering a solution! I'll likely do this once a year for preventive maintenance.

PS: A spray bottle of water to clean things off before starting is very helpful if your undercarriage is covered in "winter grime." Then use a hair dryer or heat gun after cleaning out the contacts with cleaner to help it evaporate faster (if you're working in cold temperatures like I was).
